Internal Leaks
• Leak at injector copper sleeve
• Damaged or deteriorated liner seals
• Liners pitted or cracked
• Leaks at cylinder head gasket
• Crack(s) in cylinder head
• Crack(s) in cylinder block
Coolant Leaks Through Overflow
• Faulty pressure cap/relief valve
• Engine running too hot
• Expansion tank installed incorrectly
• Leaks at cylinder head gasket
• Cylinder block cracked
• Liners pitted or cracked
• Coolant losses, warm engine switched off
Note: Coolant losses after having switched off a warm
engine are generally due to heavy load operation and
subsequent stopping without allowing the engine first
to run at idling speed to cool down. Also, check for a
faulty pressure cap valve.
Contaminated Coolant
If the coolant is contaminated, it could mean that there is
an internal leak (oil) or that the cooling system is clogged
(deposits). Check for leaks.
